Section 7 Common Sense
"IKEA Supermarket" is located on the north side of the block, less than two kilometers away from the bank office building. The store is not large in size, but the goods are of a complete range.
After parking the escort truck on the side of the road, Su Hao jumped out of the cab, observing the surrounding environment vigilantly, and confirming that there was no trace of the infected person, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the chain lock tied to the supermarket roller shutter door.
The last time he came over, he had already cleared all the zombies in the store. In order to prevent damage to supplies and avoid fighting again, he pulled the store door and blocked it.
Su Hao did not choose a large shopping mall with abundant material reserves. It is a downtown area. When the virus broke out, the abortion was already very dense. No one could tell whether there were dense groups of corpses there. Although Su Hao was not afraid of the virus and his physical fitness was in the transformation stage because of taking silver bones, he did not want to take risks and did not dare to do that.
After all, he is not a real reinforcement person.
Xinyan stood at the entrance of the supermarket with a riot shotgun in hand, constantly looking at the distance of the street, with a nervous gaze faintly in her eyes.
The back door of the escort truck was open, and Su Hao kept traveling between the door and the store. The carriage was soon filled with bags of rice and flour, large buckets of cooking oil, and cans that had not yet been torn open. He felt like a hard-working rat, greedily closing everything he could see in his eyes. Bacon, sausage, biscuits, salt and various seasonings, candies...even the web piled on the side of the store door didn't want to let go.
There was a slight movement behind the walls at the corner of the street. Xinyan immediately stared at it, and the police shotgun held in his hand was also flat to his chest.
Su Hao put down a bag of sugar that was about to be put into his backpack, quickly took off the assault rifle on his shoulder, and held it flat, closely watching the circular space in the scope.
The survival experience of the future world made him understand that danger often comes from movements that are easily overlooked. Negligence is the most fatal factor. No one knows where extremely dangerous lives will be hidden? When they appear or explode, they will always be accompanied by some faint signs. When the exact location cannot be determined, the best way is to leave as soon as possible.
"Go and drive, hurry!"
Su Hao controlled the gun with one hand and closed the rear door of the car with force. His eyes never left the sounding wall. Xinyan did not argue. She quickly got into the cab and turned the key to start the engine. Just as Su Hao was about to get in the car and left, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the wall.
"Hey! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! See clearly, I'm a human, not those monsters——"
It was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a black shirt, rolled up his cuffs, his collar was open, revealing most of his chest. Perhaps seeing that the other party would not shoot, he raised his hands, trotted to the middle of the road, blocked the escort van, waved his arms with surprise, and kept shouting in a deliberate voice: "Hey! Did you see it? I'm not a monster, not———"
Two other men walked out behind the wall, holding weapons such as sticks. Like the men standing on the road, in order to show that they were not hostile, they raised their hands and walked over quickly.
Xinyan had already stepped on the clutch and was about to release it. Seeing this scene, she immediately stepped on it again, hung in neutral, and quickly glanced at Su Hao, who had jumped into the passenger seat, and asked, "What should I do now?"
Su Hao silently stared at these strangers who suddenly appeared, and his gunshot scanned back and forth on the other party.
They were very strong, with daggers hanging on their waists, and wooden sticks were specially processed, with either iron sheets wrapped at the top or densely covered with nails. Their expressions were very excited and their eyes were full of ecstasy. But for some reason, Su Hao always felt that there were some difficult-to-guess ingredients hidden in those pairs of eyes.
"drive----"
Su Hao's voice was very cold, but very clear.
Xinyan glanced at him in surprise, with a somewhat surprised expression.
Su Hao held her hand tightly holding the joystick and pushed it hard into the first gear, and ordered without doubt: "Get out of here quickly and leave now------"
The slowly turning wheels made the middle-aged man in the lead nervous. The expression on his face immediately became angry, and the other two men also cursed. They waved the sticks in their hands and quickly walked around the side of the car body, smashing the doors and windows hard, making a dull "bang bang". These actions could not stop the escort truck from leaving, and the man could only let the road open. The moment the vehicle passed by him, through the window glass, Xinyan heard a series of dirty words that erupted from the other party.
......
The escort truck loaded with goods rushed out of the street at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour and headed towards the west of the city.
Xinyan held the steering wheel to stabilize the speed, but her eyes peeked into the rear mirror to see the expression on Su Hao's face. After a few seconds of silence, she finally couldn't help asking: "Why... don't bring them?"
Su Hao looked at the mirror outside the car window, and after confirming that there were no followers, he rolled up the car window and said lightly: "Those people are very dangerous."
"How do you know?"
The girl's eyes clearly showed disbelief.
"I don't know if you've ever noticed their clothes?"
Su Hao leaned back on the chair and said seriously: "Either the vest or shirt, they are a little wet. They are dirty and they have not washed dry. This explanation is obviously not to be able to make sense. The only possibility is that they sweat too much. One of them has a wet mark in the crotch of the pants. You are still young and may not have much experience in "sexuality" and physiology. The guy standing on the road shouting is very close to me. At that time, I smelled the smell coming out of him."
"odor?"
Xinyan frowned.
"To be precise, it's the smell of semen."
Su Hao said calmly: "In this environment, they are still interested in doing that kind of thing, which shows that they are not short of food, are too energetic, and there may be women around them. A group of strong and idle guys... in a sense, they are actually more dangerous than zombies."
Xinyan bit her lower lip, her face looking a little ugly.
Everything is speculation. Su Hao has no absolute evidence to show that his judgment is true.
However, he dared not take risks. In the future world, he has seen too many similar examples. Those men may just want to ask about the situation, or they may just want to take a ride away, but Su Hao did find an abnormality in them. He does not want to prove it, nor do he want to do anything. Leaving is the best choice.
Of course, if the judgment is confirmed, he will pull the trigger without hesitation.
......
Although the escort truck had disappeared from his sight, the middle-aged man still cursed with anger. He picked up an empty wine bottle with anger, rounded his arms, and threw it hard towards the street intersection in the distance. The dark green glass bottle drew a standard arc in the air and fell to the ground. While scattering into countless pieces, it also made a harsh sound in the empty streets.
"You brainless idiot, stop! This will attract all the monsters———"
Behind him, an extremely rough and roar with strong anger suddenly came. The man subconsciously turned his head and saw a tall man walking quickly towards him. He was nearly two meters tall, wearing a sweat jacket with excellent elasticity, with large pieces of developed muscles raised on his arms and chest, his cheeks were covered with hard beards like steel needles, and the muscles on his face were twisted and entangled because of anger. Because he was afraid that the roar would cause greater trouble, he could only try his best to lower his voice, grab the man's collar, drag it in front of him, and then smashed his right fist hard on the other person's face.
Two bright red blood lines immediately flowed out of the man's nostrils. He felt his head as if he was hit hard by a speeding vehicle, and he was very dizzy. There were countless strange and inexplicable pictures in his mind, his eyes turned black, and even his body lost balance and could not even keep standing.
"Hu...Brother Hu... Then, those two guys are... police."
The man's voice sounded like he was begging, and he seemed to be struggling to express his intentions as much as possible. He was very close to the man called "Brother Hu". The difference in height and strength made him unable to resist and dare not wail. He could only tiptoe to keep his breathing unobstructed, but his legs were twitching involuntarily.
"I have eyes, I can see it myself———"
Brother Hu interrupted the man rudely. He had a gloomy face and stared in the direction where the escort truck disappeared for a long time before letting go, throwing the man with half-dead face as white as paper, turned around and scolded the other two people standing beside him and mom, "Why are you standing like wood? Let me move things and take away all the food. Move quickly, those monsters may pop up at any time."
Hu He is a fitness coach, and he also likes Muay Thai and karate. When the virus broke out, he happened to practice in a nearby gym. His strong physique, the strength and fighting skills that ordinary people cannot compare with made him naturally become the leader of the survivor group.
All the people present, including the man who had just been beaten, held their breath and kept their anger on them, for fear that Hu He would make them angry. They trot into the store and took the items they needed from the shelves as quickly as possible.
At first, Hu He felt panic like everyone else. This panic didn't last long, and he soon discovered that zombies were actually easy to deal with. As long as they were not densely packed corpses, they were not their opponents at all.
There is no order, no restrictions and constraints, and the expectant and helpless eyes of the survivor, which makes him truly feel the benefits brought to him by power. The power generated by this chaotic period has given him a lot of things he usually dreams of, such as women, such as the distribution of food and water... He is very satisfied with everything now and does not want to change anything.
He kept staring at the street corner in the distance, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly, revealing the unconcealed hideousness and cruelty. After thinking for a few minutes, Hu He's face gradually calmed down. He turned around and hooked his fingers at the middle-aged man who was busy transporting goods. The latter immediately put down the things in his hand and ran over.
"You make arrangements to let hooks and iron galls go around nearby. Those guys should live not far from us. Find them and start first... you can get a lot of good things."
Su Hao and Xinyan are both wearing bulletproof vests of guards, and they are easily mistaken for police. Hu He does not want outsiders to disrupt the current situation of the gym, nor does he want to see any damn guardian of order. Moreover, he saw with his own eyes that the other party was holding a gun in his hand.
......
The speed of the escort truck is decreasing, but its direction is facing away from the bank office building. Su Hao does not want others to find his hiding place, and to circle around, he can hide the round trip route to a certain extent.
Without the wind, the cicadas were clamoring desperately on the treetops.
The afternoon sun is very strong, making the ground hot. The white light makes the eyes sore, and I can't help but want to get sleepy.
Suddenly, a crazy and hysterical roar came from the corner of the street directly in front of him.
Su Hao and Xinyan subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice was, then quickly withdrew their gaze and looked at each other.
“It’s the survivor.”
The girl turned the steering wheel without saying a word and stepped on the accelerator.
Su Hao frowned, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
He instinctively wanted to stop it.
Unlike Xinyan, Su Hao comes from the future, and can also be said to be another world. There, human society has another set of completely different survival rules. It is difficult for people to truly believe in each other. The word "friendship" almost does not exist. A piece of bread can make a couple turn against each other, and a bottle of clean drinking water can cause killing. Strangers' eyes are full of hostility. Apart from naked exchange of interests, you will never understand the true meaning of words such as "trust".
Su Hao still follows the fixed thinking mode of the future world. If it weren't for help, he wouldn't have brought Xinyan and others out of the underground parking lot. The girl is very obedient and never goes against his opinion. But no matter what, Su Hao still has a slight guard against her.
He has become accustomed to having doubts about anything.
Turning around the intersection and following the source of the sound, the escort truck slowly drove into a relatively narrow community road. A large group of dirty zombies appeared immediately in front of them. They were like dense maggots entrenched on the surface of carrion, swarming towards the entrance of a building. Through the gaps of bricks on the surface of the floor, they could see that their target was on the third floor, an ordinary residential house with closed doors.
On the clearing ground two or thirty meters away from the corpse group, there was a man with panic and extremely frightened and angry expression.
He is thick, tall, dark and rough in skin, and looks about twenty-five or six years old. He holds a sharp steel pipe with a sharp edge in his right hand and holds the strap of the backpack slanted on his shoulder with his left hand. The bag is very large. Through the gap that the rope cannot be tied, you can see that it is filled with "delicious" biscuits, "Shuanghui" ham sausages and other foods.
The man howled like crazy, constantly tapping the ground with steel pipes, making a harsh and unpleasant sound. He used this action to attract the corpse groups, trying to lead them all in the direction he was. At the same time, he stabbed the head of the zombie that was rushing towards him with the tip of the steel pipe, minimizing the number of these terrifying monsters as much as possible.
His body was covered in blood, as if he had consumed too much strength. The frequency of the steel pipe was waving slower and slower, and his roar became hoarse. But he had no intention of giving up. While running back and forth with a blank expression, he looked around anxiously and panic. Apart from a distance, Su Hao could still see bloodshot in his eyes and half-dry tears remaining on his face.
"We have to help him! We have to help him----"
Xinyan stared at her eyes, gritted her teeth, pushed the gear fiercely, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The escort truck rushed forward, shouting, and rushed straight towards the group of corpses at an extremely rapid speed. The zombies closest to the two ends were knocked away on the spot. The word "guard" with the intimidating front of the car was splashed with dark red and rotten blood.
The girl jumped out of the car and took the police shotgun in her hand. She was nervous but extremely hatred to pull the trigger at the corpse group. The thick-caliber kinetic bullet exploded, spraying out countless tiny steel balls, and drilling a small hole as dense as a honeycomb on the surface of the zombie's body.
Su Hao didn't say anything or stop him. He sat in the car, silently watching Xinyan who was fighting wildly. The gaze released from his pupils was still cold, but there were other things he had never experienced before, and they were inexplicably produced just now.
He suddenly realized that he had forgotten some of the most important factors such as time and environment.
This era is completely different from the future in which they live. Human beings have not yet destroyed the most basic morality, and they still believe in each other. Interests can touch people's hearts, but they are not enough to be the key to judging good and evil.
In the future, Su Hao has never heard of anyone who would bravely rush towards the dense zombies for a stranger he had never met. This kind of thing is tantamount to a myth.
Now, the weak and thin girl was roaring at the zombies like a madman.
She is very stupid———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
She was very stupid———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
This is the end of the world?
Is this the kindness that has been abandoned in the future world?
Su Hao felt that his thinking was a bit heavy, and he added too many things that he had never considered or thought about. These unfamiliar thinking consciousness were not disgusting, but touched the softest position in his heart, making him feel that his body was trembling slightly... not because of fear, nor because of coldness, but moving.
"This silly girl didn't even say hello, and just took action recklessly..."
